AFT Resolution

ENERGY CONSERVATION AND NUCLEAR POWER

WHEREAS, the recent disastrous accident at the nuclear power plant at Chernobyl in the U.S.S.R. underscores the danger posed by the operation of nuclear power plants to the health and lives of untold millions:

RESOLVED, that the AFT urge that all governments take effective measures to promote energy conservation and the development of solar and other safe sources of energy; and

RESOLVED, that the AFT urge all governments to stop the licensing and construction of nuclear power plants immediately; and

RESOLVED, that AFT urge all governments to shut down existing nuclear power plants as soon as they can be replaced by safer power-generating facilities.

(1986)

Please note that a newer resolution, or portion of a resolution, may have superseded an earlier resolution on the same subject. As a result, with the exception of resolutions adopted at our most recent AFT convention, resolutions do not necessarily reflect current AFT policies.
